WE DRINK ON THE JOB (SF 2025)

No Small Talk™

partial transcript

Hi, hello.

So I was thinking about weird jobs.

I’ve had some weird jobs ... I know we’ve all had em ... I was just thinking about how they can kind of sort of... shape you in one way or another,

for better or for worse.

One of these weird jobs I had growing up in the Central Valley... under the sun. I got a job working in a junkyard. A junkyard out on the outskirts of Downtown Fresno.

You know, it’s a junkyard, a designated, agreed upon place where people bring... their junk. And some people consider that junk to be treasure, and treasures have value. and some people make a living finding or procuring said treasures, selling these quote-unquote “found” items back to the junkyard.

and as you can imagine, there’s a whole slew of characters hanging around, especially the ones working at the junkyard, just characters.

When I worked there, I was a 20-year-old kid,

knew it all,

I’d done it all,

I’d seen it all, which was nothing at all.

I really liked these characters at the junkyard. I tried to fit in with them, you know. I loved them...these salty, crusty creatures telling wild tales...

Here’s a live recording FOR THE PAID SUBS ($5 gets ya pretty far around here... )
